similar to: problem with mount -t smbfs

I've got a machine running RedHat Linux 6.2 on a P-II400 with 256MB of ram. I'm mounting shares in the manner 'mount -t smbfs -o uid=user,gid=group //server/share /mount/point'. The server is a genuine NT 4 server, with SP5 and a couple of hotfixes. I mounted a couple of shares yesterday, and overnight the stopped working. When accessing the share, I get an error message that

'lo all Im wondering if anyone is getting the same problem with smbfs as i am with the 2.2.x kernels when i try to smbmount a share i get the following on the screen "SMBFS: need mount version 6" and also on the telnet shell or actual shell "mount error: Invalid argument Please look at smbmount's manual page...." the mans have nothing i revert back to 2.0.x and it

Anybody made OpenSSH work on a SPARC machine yet? I managed to get OpenSSL to compile correctly, via a patch to fix the location of perl (on RPM based systems, it will almost always be in /usr/bin/perl, not in /usr/local/bin/perl), and a small patch to the spec file to allow for SPARC builds. That RPM is built and installed without any errors that I can detect. OpenSSH is failing during a key

Perhaps I am doing this all wrong, I am new to this. I am using the lates version of SAMBA, and am trying to mount a remote win95 drive on my linux box. I tried smbmount and it didn't work, unknown command. I also tried the following don't laugh. mount -t nfs \\server\share \remotes when I do this I am returned an error saying can't locate the address for the server. I can smbclient

Is there a file I can place in the netlogin directory (or anywhere else for that matter) that will represnet a logon script? I want to have my workstations auto-mount particular shares on the samba server, without the user having to make the mount. This way when I add new users, the shares are automatically present. If there is a script I can place somwehre, please tell me what it's name is

I'm running Linux 2.1.130 on an AXP, with Samba 2.0 beta 2. I have smbfs enabled in the kernel with Win 95 bug fixes enabled but I'm not running smbd. The server containing the share is an HP running Samba 1.9.16p11. I mount the share with smbmount //hpname/share -c 'mount /home/me/mydir' All is well for a while (~1 hour), but then I get kernel: smb_get_length: recv error = 5

We've had a copy of Office2K at the office for months now, and I've been trying to get it to install from our Samba server. The server is a RedHat linux box running Samba 2.0.5a-1. I've tried it via UNC and mapping a drive, and I've tried all of the case mangling things that I can. It works just fine from NT4 SP4 and SP5. Anybody else tried this, or made it work? If so, can I

I've sent a couple of messages about this to both of these lists, but I've never gotten it working. :-( I've got details, so I'll post to both lists, and see if anybody can, or has, made this work. I've got a share for Office 2000, with 2 sub directories under it, one for disk one, one for disk 2. When I try to run setup from a UNC (\\blofeld\office2000\disk1\setup), I get

This is the list of problems I had with samba-2.0.6 so far. Can anyone tell me if he can reproduce them and if he considers them as problems? 2.0.6 on linux 2.2.13 or 2.0.33 1) sighup/log reopening doesn't always work: connections that are already active keep logging to the old logs; logrotate rotates/zip the logs and samba stops logging completely till restart. 2) Localized chars. I have

I periodically see smbfs questions get asked on this list, and they usually get one of two responses: 1. smbfs is a kernel module; this list is not the appropriate place to be asking smbfs questions. 2. You should be using cifs instead. (Please let me know if either if these is incorrect.) I was surprised to see, however, that the smbmount / mount.smbfs manpage makes no mention of cifs as being

Hi, i've mounted a WinNT4 share with smbmount 2.0.5a (Linux 2.2.13). All works fine: authentification via username & domain, even file creation, but somehow i get an error when i'm trying to create a file link with "ln" (equaly soft- or hard link): "ln: cannot create symbolic link: Operation not permitted." I've set the create modes and masks to 777 but it

Hi, I'm running Linux 2.2.2 w/ Samba 2.0.2, using the smbmount that comes with Samba 2.0.2. I noticed that when I mount shares, smbmount sticks around, almost like a daemon: [root@jason /root]# smbmount //XXXX.gatech.edu/XXXX$ "XXXXXX" -U jkau -c "mount /mnt/cnd" < /dev/null > /tmp/smbmount.out [root@jason /root]# ps ax | grep smbmount 10678 ?

I have a problem with smbmount. I have a linux server running E-Smith (or Mitel SME server as it is now) which is basically a cut down version of RedHat 7.0 (running Kernel 2.2.19-7.0.8smp). Samba version is 2.0.10. We are connecting to an NT server (service pack 3 - I must upgrade that sometime soon). We have quite a good tapedrive and backup software (3rd party) on the E-Smith server, whereas

Hello all. Our system consists of two linux machines, each running Red Hat 7.1 (kernel 2.4.9-34), using SMB to mount multiple shares hosted by a Windows 2000 Advance Server. smbclient from Samba 2.2.5 is used to do the actual mounting. Over the weekend, a number of files on these SMBFS shares were created with incorrect timestamps (modification times). In some cases, the timestamps were off by

Hi people,

Does anyone have Samba working on Solaris 2.5.1? I posted more or less the same question a few months ago, and didn't hear anything back, but the issue has reared its head again on my end. I have Samba 2.0.0 running successfully on Solaris 2.6, but have failed in repeated attempts to get Samba running on Solaris 2.5.1. Basic symptom: I can get the daemon running, but can't connect to

Is this really caused by a buggy server, or is this an interoperability problem? It seems to work ok when I specify -o "protocol 1" on the command line.

Hi I am trying to create a boot diskette(s) that is able to mount a remote drive (on an NT server) using smbfs. I have tried doing this, but I can't fit smbd, nmbd, smbmount and smbumount all onto my root disk. What is the minimum set of files required for smbfs to work? What docs should I read to help me? I am running RedHat 6.2 (with a custom kernel v 2.2.14, ntfs and network card

This seems like it should have an obvious answer, but I haven't seen a clear word one way or the other in the man pages or other documentation that I have read - is smbmount's behavior in any way governed by the smb.conf file? The reason I ask is one of the other sysadmins here has been trying to figure out ways to improve smbfs performance, and he came across the speed.txt file in

Fellow SAMBA lovers: I've been using 'mount -t smbfs blah blah' for over a year to do backup/restore. I recently upgraded SAMBA from 2.2.2 to 2.2.3a and the NT Server I was attaching to from v4 to Win2k. Now 'mount -t smbfs' returns an error. However, smbmount with the same parameters works, so I just changed the scripts to use smbmount. I suspect it's the Windoze server
